Download or read book Northwest Coast Indian Art written by Bill Holm and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 50th anniversary edition of this classic work on the art of Northwest Coast Indians now offers color illustrations for a new generation of readers along with reflections from contemporary Northwest Coast artists about the impact of this book. The masterworks of Northwest Coast Native artists are admired today as among the great achievements of the world�s artists. The painted and carved wooden screens, chests and boxes, rattles, crest hats, and other artworks display the complex and sophisticated northern Northwest Coast style of art that is the visual language used to illustrate inherited crests and tell family stories. In the 1950s Bill Holm, a graduate student of Dr. Erna Gunther, former Director of the Burke Museum, began a systematic study of northern Northwest Coast art. In 1965, after studying hundreds of bentwood boxes and chests, he published Northwest Coast Indian Art: An Analysis of Form. This book is a foundational reference on northern Northwest Coast Native art. Through his careful studies, Bill Holm described this visual language using new terminology that has become part of the established vocabulary that allows us to talk about works like these and understand changes in style both through time and between individual artists� styles. Holm examines how these pieces, although varied in origin, material, size, and purpose, are related to a surprising degree in the organization and form of their two-dimensional surface decoration. The author presents an incisive analysis of the use of color, line, and texture; the organization of space; and such typical forms as ovoids, eyelids, U forms, and hands and feet. The evidence upon which he bases his conclusions constitutes a repository of valuable information for all succeeding researchers in the field. Replaces ISBN 9780295951027

Download or read book Great Works of Indian Art written by Douglas Mannering and published by Smithmark Publishers. This book was released on 1996-07 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For thousands of years, the Indian sub-continent has been the battleground of conquerors and the birthplace of great religions, so it is hardly surprisig that its arts have been uniquely varied and moving. Indian sculpture embraces severe portraits of the Buddha, 'the Compassionate One', along with female spirits of disconcerting voluptuousness and wonderfully poised, multi-limbed figures of gods such as Shiva, stepping out to cosmic rhythms as the Lord of the Dance. In painting, Hindu miniatures illustrated the adventures of gods and lovers, while the Mughal emperors patronized a brilliant, elegant court art featuring portraits, battle scenes and everyday events such as polo matches. No book could do full justice to Indian art, but the plates in this book make a superb introduction to an unforgettable subject"--Page 4 of cover
Download or read book In Pursuit of the Past written by Pratapaditya Pal and published by Marg Publications. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, as far as is known, no book has ever been written on the history of collecting in India, either of books or artFor the subcontinent of India, the period from the late 19th to the first half of the 20th century was one of extensive and substantial change. A significant development was the awakening of a sense of national pride, which included an increased awareness and interest in the region's ancient heritage. The explorations of the Archaeological Survey of India (founded in 1861) unearthed several treasures of the past; in addition, the dwindling fortunes of princely families led them to begin disposing of their possessions. As a result, several individuals from wealthy and educated Indian families, as also enlightened European visitors and residents, zealously acquired objects of historic and aesthetic appeal. Today these works of art, preserved in museum or private collections in India and abroad, provide rich materials for the study of India's art history.This book presents the stories of these pioneering collectors and collections in eminently readable form. Many of the 20th-century collectors were personally known to the author, and he presents interesting, little-known facts about their lives and how they came to acquire some of the prize pieces in their collections. Apart from his own recollections, Dr. Pal has mined the memoirs of other scholars, collectors and dealers, as well as writings and catalogs that provide details of acquisitions and sources. He traces the journey of great works of art over the decades, as collections were sold or gifted away, as a whole or dispersed.The significant figures of this period come alive in the narrative and their singleminded pursuit of beauty is evident from some of the most significant objects from their collections illustrated here.Any reader with an interest in India's glorious art traditions will find a wealth of information in this book, presented in the author's inimitable style with insightful comment and observation. Marg is honored to published this magnum opus on the occasion of Dr. Pal completing 80 years.

As well as discussing indigenous versus foreign in aesthetic practices, this volume covers North and South Indian performance practices and theories, alongside recent and new themes including the Gandhian aesthetics of surrender and self-control and the aesthetics of touch in the light of the politics of untouchability. With such unparalleled and authoritative coverage, The Bloomsbury Research Handbook of Indian Aesthetics and the Philosophy of Art represents a dynamic map of comparative cross-cultural aesthetics. Bringing together original philosophical research from renowned thinkers, it makes a major contribution to both Eastern and Western contemporary aesthetics.
